Grayson (6'3/213) made 35 starts for CSU, earning Mountain West Offensive POY as a senior and wrapping his career with a 62.1 completion rate and 54:25 TD-to-INT ratio. A plus athlete, Grayson ran 4.72/4.78 at his Pro Day, also impressing in the vertical (34") and broad (10'1") jumps. Grayson made anticipation throws from the pocket in Colorado State's pro-style offense, took 91 percent of his snaps from under center, and showed an ability to deliver the football under duress. His arm strength is average, however, and Grayson's ball placement is inconsistent. He would do well to settle in as a high-end NFL backup. Fortunately, he lands with offensive guru coach Sean Payton and will get to learn behind Drew Brees. Fri, May 1, 2015 10:16:00 PM

"Scouts are split on which quarterback should go third, with some preferring the long-term upside of UCLA's Brett Hundley, others preferring Oregon State QB Sean Mannion's experience in a pro-style offense and still others enamored with the natural arm talent of Baylor's Bryce Petty," La Canfora wrote. "Watch out for Grayson, however, to wind up stealing the spotlight as many feel that he offers the best combination of arm talent, mobility and experience working from under center." As for a quazi prediction, La Canfora writes that "Grayson could be an especially intriguing fit as a Peyton Manning understudy in Gary Kubiak's West Coast offense." Colleague Dane Brugler doesn't mock Grayson into Round 2, but has both Hundley and Petty in that stanza. Stay tuned. Fri, May 1, 2015 03:44:00 PM

An anonymous NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson "at best ... becomes a guy like Jon Kitna or (Ryan) Fitzpatrick" and clarified "that's not a negative."

"Good processor of the game," he said. "Got a pretty quick mind. Average physical characteristics. I see him better than Matt Flynn." Grayson has broken his collarbone three times, an area to keep an eye on. "Pocket guy," another scout said. "Little better athlete than you think. He can at least escape the rush and get the ball off under duress." A third scout called him a "career backup probably." Tue, Apr 28, 2015 08:23:00 PM

An NFL executive believes Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson could end up as the class' best quarterback.

"I wouldn't be surprised if (Colorado State's Garrett) Grayson was better than all of them," the executive said. "I just think he's got the intangibles. He's got a good presence about himself in the pocket. He's got the physical traits. His arm's strong enough, and I think he's got the right temperament." That said, Grayson isn't going higher than Round 2, and he may even fall into Day 3. Representatives from three NFC teams told said they had mid- to late-round grades on Grayson. The St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys have worked him out. Mon, Apr 27, 2015 09:10:00 PM
